SMYRNA, Tenn. (WTVF — One person has died after a house explosion in Smyrna over the weekend.

This was on St. Michael’s Lane. Two people were in the home and one person was transported to a local hospital. The male victim has died, according to a PIO with the town of Smyrna.

Firefighters did a great job keeping the fire from spreading to other homes. There's no official word yet on the cause, but neighbors said it may have had to do with a hot water tank explosion in the garage.

They say an elderly couple lives there. The woman is OK.

This is a beautiful story of chosen family, proving a father figure doesn't have to have biology in common to make a difference in a child's life. The story of De'Andre and Alex will remind you that our relationships help determine the course of our lives. And that being supportive of someone - through a meal, a shared experience or even swim lessons can make all the difference.
